I am in the process of sourcing for a carrier class email security solution that will replace our current edge spam gateways based on open source solutions. Some solutions that am currently considering are Ironport, Fortinet Fortimail, MailFoundry and Barracuda. I'd therefore wish to know, based on your experiences, what works for you satisfactorily.
Areas that are key for me are centralized management and reporting, carrier class performance, per mailbox policy and quarantine, and favourable licensing for an MSSP. I know Ironport is rated highly in this space but I find its per user licensing is not favourable for a MSSP.
On the other hand installing a FreeBSD system with QMail/Procmail and/or PostFIX for the other stuff is a no-brainer especially with a Webmin Management front end.
Webmin? Are you serious?
Yes William, but realize that was an "easiest method" solution. There are any number of others as well. The point is that integrating an appliance type functionality is pretty easy if you bother to take the time. What I really wanted to point out is how many of the devices dont allow authenticated NTP meaning they are worthless from an evidence perspective, something that we as network engineers are constrained by as well.
